“The insights gained helped me and my peer group understand our personal & professional goals, as well as any barriers & opportunities, and then to take that information to forge a plan for personal & professional success. On this journey we tapped into each others’ perspectives improving our ability to collaborate & communicate, which helped us to formulate a common purpose both for ourselves, as the leadership team, and for our wider team.”

Sprint 1
How is the team performing now? How can you work together to change that?
It’s vital that everyone who takes part is absolutely honest about the issues the team is facing now. So every member of your team needs to share their perspective on what’s really going on. You also need to determine your own personal purpose. Only by finding your individual ‘why’ can we help you work to find a common ‘how’.
Sprint 2
Unleash the transformative power of purpose
The first thing every team that wants to transform its performance needs is a shared sense of purpose. That’s the key to purpose-driven leadership. But before that, you need to share your own personal purpose. Once all your fellow team members understand where you are all coming from, then it becomes much easier to work out – and consciously sign up to – what you’re trying to achieve together.
Sprint 3
Sharing your personal vision and values to shape your team’s
Each team member will bring their own vision and values to the team-building process. What we need to do is work together to create a shared vision and values which will help to drive all the team forward. By aligning these with your common purpose, you can help ensure that all of your efforts are pushing in the same direction.
Sprint 4
What’s going to stop you and how are you going to get through it?
Now each of you will create your own personal 90-day action plan, in order to help you execute your own personal strategy for purpose-driven leadership. Then we will bring those together to create our secret weapon, the Team Manifesto. This is your shared commitment to the goals you are aiming to achieve as well as the strategy by which you have agreed to achieve them.
Sprint 5
Reviewing your Team Manifesto action plan
In this final sprint, we reflect on the Team Manifesto and the action plan you have committed to in order to ensure that they are optimised and will deliver the goals for which you are aiming. The entire team formally commits to them, and we introduce the buddy system that will help you keep your promises.
